STAY AWAY
Would Not RecommendThis stuff sucks. It’s gummy pretty much immediately after application. I couldn’t even finish one side of my desk, it dries too fast and makes everything gummy and uneven. I spent so long, so much sweat and energy, sanding and prepping my wood, and then this ruined it. I think I’m going to have to start all over. I’m tempted to just throw it away honestly. I’m so upset. I wish nobody sold me this

Would Not RecommendI sanded and stained a new floor, it was not the same color, it was lighter, when I got down to the last 1inch in the can it was solid I shock the can before I started, the second can was the same I sturd it up now the floor has different colors, I bought a third can had Lowe’s shack it up, for a even color, now it’s to dark, probably going to have it sanded and start over, not happy

I can’t tell you when I bought my Minwax Polyshade, there’s always some left in the can from a previous use, it’s the only product I use! It always goes on smooth and cleans up nicely and the furniture looks beautiful!
